Luke Kennard leaves Suns preseason game after awkward landing
Luke Kennard is one of the Phoenix Suns' offseason additions. He leaves their preseason game after an awkward landing.
San Antonio – In the middle of the second quarter during the Phoenix Suns' preseason game against the San Antonio Spurs on October 14, guard Luke Kennard exited the court due to an awkward landing on a contested floater, according to the Arizona Republic. As the Suns were down by one player on the defensive end, Kennard stood slightly bent over with the team awaiting a stoppage in play.
Once there was a pause in action, with 6:43 minutes left in the first half, the NBA top 3-point shooter made his way straight to the locker room. At that moment, the Suns were trailing 34-32. The Suns have one final preseason game remaining on Friday, October 16, hosting the Utah Jazz. The 2026-27 season opener for the Suns is set for October 21 against the Portland Trail Blazers.
